News of the DARC Band Monitoring System
---------------------------------------
Following the news of the DARC Bandwatch (similar to IARU Monitoring System)
compiled by its director Ulrich Bihlmayer, DJ9KR:
Radio Bangladesh is transmitting on 7105 kHz since Aug 13. Harald,DL5HAQ,
and Wolf,DF5SX, reported this as a "new intruder" in the 7 MHz band. The
radio station has been spotted with a maximum of S9+40dB from 1820-1940 UTC.
Their homepage says their frequency is 7250 kHz. So please observe also this
QRG in the evening and night hours and inform the bandwatch if you hear it!
Wolf,DK2OM, has found an unknown burst system from France on 3500, 7000,
14000 and 21000 kHz which is active every day at the full hour. The signals
are coming from France but the purpose is unknown. An international appeal
has been issued by the Germany agency. Another unknown CLOVER 2000-mailbox
has been spotted in the 21 MHz band during night and day. This commercial
mailbox sent idle tones on 21138.5 kHz and its location is supposed to be in
the Sultanate of Oman in the Middle East (reported by Wolf,DK2OM).
In July, the 15m band was again disturbed by the emissions of OTH radars
from Turkey and from the UK Royal Air Force on Cyprus. Mario,DG0JBJ, sent
27 reports of radars in this band. Due to poor conditions on 28 MHz the
radars avoided the 10m band in July. Also for July Georg,DJ7KG, sent 203
reports of illegal driftnet buoys in the 28000-28540 kHz range using CW IDs
with one, two or three letters.
If you discover a pirate radio within exclusive radio bands please report it
online to the "Intruder Logger" directly.
Take advantage of this opportunity: http://peditio.net/intruder/bluechat.cgi
